This comes about eight months after actress Tessa Thompson told fans that herThor: Ragnarok characterValkyrie is bisexual. Feige spoke on introducing LGBTQ character in an interview with The Playlist, reports dailymail.co.uk.

In the interview, Feige was asked "When will we be getting a gay, bi, LGBTQ character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Is it even in the works?" Feige replied with a "yes".

When asked if the characters are already introduced in MCU, or will it be new to the story line, Feige said, "Both… Both ones you've seen and ones you haven't seen."

Last October, Thompson responded to a Twitter thread speculating on the sexuality of the character after a male user called the character a "typical sexless marvel tomboy..oh but with wisecracks".

Thompson said: "She's bi. And yes, she cares very little about what men think of her. What a joy to play."
